@GirtsKarnitis @atihomirovs @Oslejs it looks like they are borrowing increasingly expensive money on increasingly unfavorable terms, to pay it back to previous lenders (or the same lenders) each time obtaining more secure collateral, so that in the end all the mega % would be covered.

@JurgisLiepnieks @atihomirovs @Oslejs What money? AirBaltic is as broke as a church mouse. Do you think they have a few hundred million stashed in a secret safe?

Question @Oslejs. Did I understand correctly that in addition to the 25% that AirBaltic will pay for the loan, the lender will also receive an additional 30 million in commissions from AirBaltic? Which in other words would mean that the cost of the loan is not 25% but much higher?

@karlis_serzants @AndrisKivics @AndrisKulbergs No favoritism was found. The husband's company won procurements long before taking the position. The industry is specific, not many competitors. But conflict of interest risks theoretically existed, the council decided to terminate the employment relationship. Even State Audit representatives praised V.K.'s competence.

Remember Vineta Kutkeviča, former member of the Rīgas siltums council. Kulbergs' investigative committee found that her husband's company has been very successful in RS procurement and she left her post… to end up on the RAKUS council. @AndrisKulbergs when will this nightmare actually end?

@JanisIkstens It was neither clear, nor what you said.

Kulbergs here clearly says that there will be no cutting of expenses (approx. 4th minute). Confusing. VIDEO: «Krustpunktā». Prime minister candidate discussion: https://t.co/Y7LITB5nkY

Jānis Karlsbergs: “The feeling of security can be easily lost. We have seen these waves in Latvia from time to time. We are aware that most often they are targeted operations to influence our balance. [..] I have no reason to doubt our great ally the USA, but it is absolutely clear that especially against such a criminal, terrorist state as Russia, Europe has completely sufficient forces to deal with it ourselves.”

September 8 marks Physiotherapy Day. We will report on the planned events in 'Morning Panorama'.

Look, voters of @Apvienotais_ who care so much about the country, how @AndrisKulbergs will act today at the government meeting. Something will become clearer.

Smelling the burning smell, JV is feverishly pushing its party people into profitable positions. Tomorrow at the Cabinet meeting, they will consider the appointment of the transport minister R. Kozlovskis's advisor Skrodele to the Liepāja SEZ board. For more than 2 years the board could do without a Ministry of Transport representative, but now a month before the elections such haste. Liepāja SEZ board meetings average once a month, but the salary is around 35k per year. When the Cabinet and NGO Memorandum Council members were paid a measly 61 euros for attending a meeting, @AndrisKulbergs raised a huge fuss. He called it "sitting around" and eliminated the remuneration. Where is Andris this time? This time he won't eliminate it, because on the Liepāja SEZ board there are also his own from the United List. Back in 2024, the State Chancellery prepared amendments to the law to prohibit public officials from combining positions with the Liepāja SEZ and free port boards. We also planned to significantly reduce board member salaries. After lobbyists visited Siliņa, everything was adjusted. After all, one must support one's own.

Sensing the smell of burning, JV is frantically pushing its party members into lucrative positions. Tomorrow's Cabinet meeting will consider the appointment of transport minister R. Kozlovskis's adviser Skrodele to the Liepāja SEZ board. For more than 2 years the board managed without a representative from the Ministry of Transport, but now, a month before the elections, there is such haste. The Liepāja SEZ board meets on average once a month, but the salary is around 35k a year. When members of the Cabinet and the NVO Memorandum council were paid a paltry 61 euros for attending a meeting, @AndrisKulbergs made a huge fuss. He called it 'sitting around' and eliminated the remuneration. Where has Andris disappeared this time? This time he won't eliminate it, because the Liepāja SEZ board also includes their own people from the United List. Already in 2024, the State Chancellery prepared amendments to the law to prohibit state officials from combining posts with the Liepāja SEZ and freeport boards. We also planned to significantly reduce the remuneration of board members. After lobbyists visited Siliņa, everything was adjusted. After all, we have to support our own.

@karlis_serzants @AndrisKulbergs As you can see, I've really tried to get into various messes and criminal acts in life, I'm really a bit tired, but what else do I have to do to finally get onto some state-owned company's board or council? At least somewhere...

Then it turns out that Kulberg's government wants Russian grain to be transported via Latvia's railway, whose exports fill Russia's budget and allow financing the war against Ukraine. The main thing is that Latvia gets paid considerably more for this transit. Then everything is ok, in the government's mind.

Kulbergs wants to ensure that all Baltic states triple tariffs on Russian grain transit.

By the way, a decent debate. Surprised. Outside pre-election populism. I recommend. https://t.co/X94tUXGsBj

🎙️ Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs on Latvian Radio 1 program “Krustpunktā” about the state budget, economic growth, security, and the future of Rail Baltica. “There will be no miracles. Before promising new benefits, we must answer how to cover the existing budget deficit and how to make Latvia earn more.” The previous government has prepared a budget with a shortfall of 238 million euros next year, and by 2030 this shortfall could grow to 1.3 billion euros. Andris Kulbergs emphasizes that the solution is not raising taxes, but reviewing state expenditures and economic growth. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation on Latvian Radio 1 program “Krustpunktā”: https://t.co/5lVfqZo47g #AndrisKulbergs #Krustpunktā #LatvijasRadio #APVIENOTAISSARAKSTS #MumsIrRisinājums #KulbergsIrRisinājums #LatvijaMumsIrRisinājums #7Saraksts #SaeimasVēlēšanas2026
